About Dewflock Farm
Perfectly located for exploring Dorset, this small family run site is just five minutes from Dorchester and ten minutes to Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast. Set on a working farm, guests can enjoy meeting the onsite animals and grabbing a delicious bite to eat at the onsite farm shop and cafe. Set in a working farm, the site's 75 units are spread across ten acres of paddock. With cattle and sheep in neighbouring fields and charming lambs on the loose, children will love the place too. Plus, smaller guests can drive the site's mini Land Rovers! Each of the 36 grass pitches measures a spacious 7m x 7m, suitable for both tents and trailer tents. Up to seven guests are permitted per pitch, with six also offering a 16 amp hook up. If you want to travel light, the site also offers a range of bell tents, each allowing up to give guests. There are 20 which come unfurnished, so you will need to bring all of your usual camping equipment minus the tent. Five of the tents come partly furnished with a double bed (bedding is not provided), space for extra beds, fairy lights and charming bunting. Outside you will also have your own fire pit and hay bales for evenings in the open. The Pig Shed Cafe is open between 7.30am and 9.30am to pick up breakfast or some Dorset roasted coffee which you are welcome to eat in or take back to bed and enjoy there! Sorry, dogs are not permitted onsite. Guests are welcome to bring along their own BBQ, just please ensure they are raised from the ground. Ground fires are not permitted, sorry.

Took my 2 boys (age 7 & 9) and stayed in a furnished bell tent. We couldn't have asked for more from our stay. The kids loved the mini landiies, the games room and the breakfast baps. They also got to see piglets and stroke 2 newborn goats. The owners couldn't be more welcoming and friendly and the food and coffee were delicious. My only request would be to have the grass a bit shorter (or shorter grass walkways from tents to toilets) as our feet were always soaking from the long grass…. but then it is camping, so can't really complain! If we holiday over that way again, we'd definitely book another stay!

Thank you so much! Totally agree about the long grass. The rain and short dry spells made it tricky this year and we were working against the weather and grass gods to keep on top of it. You came across the camper squelch! Hope to see you 3 again very soon. X
Dewflock Farm is the best

Things to do on site and in the Dorchester area
A usual day on the farm would be to meet up at the farmhouse and go with Farmer Tom to feed the animals. The site have a flock of some 700 breeding ewes so there are always orphan lambs which need feeding both day and night as well as some of the cows and pigs.
The site is home to a flock of sheep, herd of cattle as well as pigs, dogs, cats, ponies and chickens. Children are encouraged to meet the animals and help Farmer Tom on his daily feeding rounds. There is plenty of space for children to play and use their imagination, stripping the confines of tech away.
Once the animals have been fed, the children normally take the breakfast rolls back to mum and dad in the tents before getting ready to go out. There are also mini landrovers for the little ones to have a go at driving. There is also a seasonal maize maze to run about.
Due to the location, many visitors use this as a base to explore Dorset. Dorchester town is less than 5 minutes away with Weymouth just seven miles due south. There are also beautiful market towns of Bridport, Sherborne, Blandford etc within easy driving distance. The famous Jurassic coastline is also always close by for a bit of fossil hunting with museums to visit.
Other attractions include:
- Dorset County Museum
- Maiden Castle
- Athelhampton House and Gardens
- Kingston Maurward House
- Jurassic Coast
- Weymouth beach and lots of other harder to find beaches
- Tyneham Village
- Lulworth and Durdle Door
